GDT 7/23: Marlins (Eovaldi) vs. Braves (Santana):

I think Walden's stuff is every bit as good as Kimbrel's. He's not as good a pitcher, obviously, but he's right there in velocity and movement.

Meh. Walden's fastball stays consistently at 95, although I saw him touch 97 yesterday. Kimbrel averages 96 and can touch 100.

I don't agree, I think Kimbrel just has a nasty factor that is matched by so few in the league.

Not a chance.

Easily our 2nd best RP when healthy though after Craig.
 
When I watch Jason play I get the impression he actually loves and understands baseball a lot. He's a really smart player that does a lot of good things for the team. His power needs to come back but he's still really young. He knows how to play the game and tools are off the charts.
 
I actually kind of wish we'd carry a 3rd catcher, so we could PH with Gattis here and slot someone else in back there instead of him.

edit: We could always use Doumit I guess, but I'd want someone not as incompetent defensively - even with a 4+ run lead.
